OIL BURNER.

. Appunti@ filed January 19, 1925. serial No. 3,223.

to obtain the best results" Anotherobject is to provide an oil burner arrangement in which a screen is arranged to receive a relatively thin lilm of oil and 'from which the oil is removed and atomized preparatory to being burned.

These and other objects are accomplished by the oil burner shown on the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Figure 1 is av longitudinal sectional Viewy of said burner, and

Figure 2 is a sectional viewtaken in the Y plane of line 2 2' of Figure v1.

Referring to the figures of the drawings, it will be note-d that my oil burner includes a main relatively large member 10, cylindri-v calin shape and forming a chamber 11, in which oil and'steam or air may-be fedv and mixed for forming an atomized combustible n-iixture. Preferably oil is fed to-the cham-v ber llthrough a pipe l'tapped intothe side of the chamber member 10, the flow of oil through the pipe-12 being under proper pressure and controlled by a valveVV 13, Mounted within the chamber 11 Aand occupyingV substantially the entire space therein Y and extending longitudinally thereof is a screen 14 rolled into the form of a tube hav inglarge surface area. Oil fed into the chamber 11 passes onto the screen forming a relatively thiniilm around the surface of Y the screen for facilitating the taking up of the oil and atomizing same by-a properly fed fluid such assteam orair. In this particular arrangement I prefer to use steam and feedsame to the chamber 11 through a.

pipel which is tapped into `one end vof the chamber member 10 so that the steam isl directed longitudinally within and through the screen tube 14. The steam removes partiv cles of oil fromthe screen and mixes with and 'atom'izes same duringy a progressives movement thereof. The mixed oil andv steam leave the chamber 11 through a nozzle z pipe or tube 16 tapped into the opposite end of said chamber member 10. The nozzle-17' at lthe end of member 16 is provided preferably with a relatively longl narrow slit 18 through which the atomized oil mixture is ejected. Y l Y By means of this arrangement oil is properly fed, mixed with a fluid such las steam or air and atomized preparatoryto being. forced through the@ nozzle and etliciently burned.

Iclaimzi w f An oil burner comprising a tubular member forming a chamber closed except for an oil inlet, a fluid inlet' and a mixture outlet7 an oil supply pipe connected to the side of said member for feeding oil to said chamber, a screen rolled into the .form .of a' tube located l in, supported by and extendingV lengthwise between the ends of said cham-y l'ber and onto whichscreen-oil isrfed, a lfluid supplypipe connected to one end of said chamber member `and in alignment with said screen lfor directing. a Huid throughr said tube of .screenffor removingoil therefrom and atomizing it, and a nozzle member connected to the other end of said chamber, member through which atomized Voil vis ejected.
